Overview
This 304 Stainless Steel Graphite Spiral Wound Gasket is engineered for high-pressure, high-temperature sealing in critical industrial flange connections. Its robust construction combines the structural strength of metal with the conformability of a soft filler, creating a reliable seal that accommodates flange irregularities and system vibrations. Designed to meet recognized industry dimensional standards, this gasket is a fundamental component for ensuring system integrity and preventing leaks in demanding process environments.
Key Features
Constructed with a 304 stainless steel outer winding for excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Features a flexible graphite filler that provides superior conformability and thermal conductivity. Engineered to seal effectively in systems with pressures up to approximately 914 PSI. Suitable for a wide range of thermal applications due to the temperature resilience of both metal and graphite components. The spiral wound design allows for controlled compression and recovery, maintaining a seal under variable conditions. Packaged as a set of two gaskets for convenient project use or inventory.
